Abstract: With the advent of the internet information age, the application scope of modern information technology is more and more extensive. The deepening of the new curriculum reform in China, the application of modern information technology in Chinese teaching in primary schools is becoming more and more extensive. The application of modern information technology in Chinese teaching in primary schools has greatly improved the flexibility of teaching and the effect of teaching. In the process of Chinese teaching, with the help of modern educational technology, not only can we create situations, stimulate students' interest in learning, create atmosphere, arouse the resonance between students and authors, expand the space and increase the capacity of the classroom, but also create an excellent teaching environment and broaden students' horizons, so as to effectively improve the quality of classroom teaching. However, from the existing researches, it is found that the integration of modern information technology and Chinese teaching in primary schools is still not sufficient. So that modern information technology does not play a real value in Chinese teaching in primary schools. Based on the definition of modern information technology, this study uses literature analysis to explore the application status and application tactics and application advantages. And the author gets enlightenment through exploring. The author hopes that the enlightenment of the study will be helpful for the development of primary school Chinese teaching and guide Chinese educators in primary schools to make better use of modern information technology for Chinese teaching.
